Remove a child without an ID in JavaScript

Question

My question is, how can i use .removechild() in javascript without having the elements ID?

The reason I don''t have its ID, is because the td was only added using append child, which as far as i know, does not allow adding an ID as well, but i may be wrong?

I used :

var myRow = document.createElement("tr");

to make the child in my function at the start.

Answer 1

You can add an id property to elements you create with document.createElement():

var myCol = document.createElement('td');
myCol.id = 'my-col-id';
myRow.appendChild(myCol);

Then you can use document.getElementById('my-col-id') without problems.

Answer 2

Yes, you can assign ID from code. Try like this:

myRow.id = 'the_id';

Answer 3

myRow.id = 'someId'
